The Death Knell

The leaves rustled in the wind, and darkness enveloped the two of them, just like before.

Su Ming took a deep breath and took a step first to try.

"Portal, place of death."

Suddenly, a purple portal opened in front of him. Although it looked the same color as Mysterio's magic door, it was even more disgusting than Mysterio's door.

There are only tentacles in the Mysterio's door that will pull you in, while the Upside Down's portal looks like a living creature, with a chrysanthemum-like vortex that is still squirming.

Su Ming closed his eyes. He had no choice but to do it.

After winking at Cindy, she sighed, put on her helmet and followed.

There was a sudden spin, as if the whole person had turned around, and the two of them fell from the portal while hanging upside down.

Cindy was okay, and landed on the ground with a somersault. Although Su Ming also did the action, his physical fitness was not enough, and the soles of his feet were numb when he landed.

She immediately looked at this black world. Ashes continued to fall from the sky, and countless undead souls with dull eyes were lining up on the road, heading towards the building that looked like a black and white whirlpool at the top of the mountain.

Countless footsteps sounded, and there was a rustling sound between heaven and earth, but it seemed extremely distant and quiet.

She was quite interested in how these shriveled corpses moved and remained sane, but now was not the time to study that.

"Where is this?"

Su Ming motioned for the two of them to walk up the mountain, and answered as he stepped forward: "This is the place of death, also called the Kingdom of the Dead, the final destination of all the dead in the multiverse, where their souls will be redistributed and reincarnated. "

Cindy's expression was a little strange. Isn't reincarnation an Eastern saying?

"So, I don't have to go to hell anymore."

"Fill hell before we die, and hell will not accept us." Su Ming told a joke, but soon became serious: "I came here to see death. She is a multiverse-level conceptual existence. Maybe she Know what really happened on Earth 0."

"Actually, I don't know anything." Death suddenly appeared in front of them holding a small black parasol. He still had a gentle smile on his face and told his situation very frankly.

Su Ming smiled and said hello to her, and Cindy shook her hand, but it was cold to the bone.

"Have you noticed anything wrong lately?" he asked.

Death turned the small umbrella with both hands and said slowly: "Don't we all know from Daniel's disappearance to Lucifer's disappearance?"

Su Ming nodded, he indeed knew everything, but Arabelle took the initiative to investigate the matter, so he didn't pay more attention to it.

Moreover, what was happening in front of him was obviously not caused by the power of dreams. Daniel could only create things he understood in his dreams, and could not interfere with the strangulation at all.

"Where are the dead souls from Earth 0?" Su Ming asked again.

Death stretched out its white and tender fingers and pointed to the ridge not far away, where a long line of dragons came from the ash-like woods: "That's it. If you ask them how they died, it is indeed different."

"Is it true that no one has died in the battle since yesterday?"

Death smiled and nodded, and she retracted her arm: "Time has no meaning to us, but as you said, no one died in the battle. The dead souls of Earth 0 died either from disease or accidents."

"Well......"

Su Ming touched his chin, and the black ashes fell on his shoulders but melted like snowflakes. He and Cindy were both living people, and everything here was not even on the same level as them.

Looking at the actions of that team of dead souls, they were no different from other dead souls.

"Are there no more murders?"

"I don't know why people don't have disputes anymore, but they really don't." Death replied with a smile. The total number of people who died was about the same as before, and she usually didn't pay attention to how they died.

As part of Death's duty, she will meet everyone upon arrival and ask them the cause of their death.

In the past, people would always answer that they were affected by the battle between superheroes and villains, or were killed by alien invaders.

But now none of the dead souls on Earth 0 have been killed, and they died more peacefully.

Cindy looked at Su Ming, and Su Ming nodded slightly. He probably had a guess.

"Thank you, let's take our leave now. You are waiting for the Sandman matter." Su Ming said goodbye to death. His current body could not support it for long, and the empty atmosphere made his hair stand on end.

Death smiled and nodded: "I have another piece of information. Destiny is very busy recently."

"Is that so, thank you." Su Ming's eyes flashed with a look: "Transportation gate, Earth 0 Forgotten Bar."

The chrysanthemum emitting purple light appeared out of thin air again.

.....................................

"Another half pint!"

Bobo put his empty beer glass on the bar and shouted to Tracy, his furry face full of despair.

Each of them and the orangutan were trapped in the pocket space.

Fortunately, there was still food and drinks, but it was hard to say how long he could hold on. The magical country of Maia seemed to have never existed, and the night blade in its hand turned into an ordinary weapon.

Even though he is the strongest detective in the animal world, Bobo doesn't know how all of this happened.

Last night, he originally planned to leave the Oblivion Bar and go to the Hall of Justice to have a meal, but as soon as he opened the door of the bar and was about to teleport, a feeling of fear that made the hair on his body explode suddenly hit him, and he immediately stepped back.

He closed the door tightly and leaned against the door panel, panting like crazy.

This is the animal's sixth sense, as if there is a force on the other side of the door that will completely change it into an ordinary orangutan. This is a great terror between life and death.

Then he tried to contact the outside world by phone, but no one he knew could be contacted.

Whether it is Batman or Superman, even Diana or his most hated Constantine, all have lost contact.

He knew that the trouble was serious, and if this happened, it would not be solved by an orangutan.

So now under the yellowish light of the tavern, there is only one orangutan drinking to drown its sorrows.

"You are the boss, drink whatever you want." Tracy also looked listless, lying blankly on the other end of the bar.

Bobo didn't allow her to go out, and she couldn't contact her friends. She was now filled with fear and didn't want to do anything except cry.

Bobo stood on the bar stool angrily: "You little devil, are you still afraid? Hurry up and pour the wine. It's not your children's turn to worry about the safety of the world."

"Then you should think of a way!" Tracy curled her lips and stretched her limbs in self-indulgence, like a salted fish with only her head stuck on the bar.

"I... wasn't I thinking, alas..." Bobo wanted to say something else, but in the end it turned into a sigh. He couldn't help but think of that person. If it was that person, maybe there would be a way?

He rubbed his eyes and said to himself: "It seems that I really drank a little too much, and I actually saw the illusion of two death knells suddenly falling from the squirming cavity in front of me..."

However, Phantom spoke: "Wukong, you rubbed your eyes with dirty hands again."
